Dr. Umar Johnson Says Karmelo Anthony Verdict Proves Black People Can’t Stand Their Ground!

[00:00:00]Daddy Metaf never forgave Carmelo Anthony for what happened to his son.

[00:00:05]>> But let that had been a black mother or a black father. THEY WOULD HAVE FORGAVE HIM THE MINUTE THEY GOT THE PHONE CALL.

[00:00:11]>> I do want to start somewhere though that is pressing on black America. There's a lot of people speaking about it. Um I want to start with the Carmelo Anthony case.

[00:00:20]>> Yes, sir.

[00:00:21]>> To me it feels bigger than a courtroom.

[00:00:23]There's a young black man that's convicted and there's a white young man that's dead. The family is grieving. The internet is divided and black parents are looking at this wondering how do we protect our sons. Did you have a chance to look and at the case and what do you feel about We'll get to the sentencing.

[00:00:40]Let's deal with the verdict first. What do you feel about the verdict?

[00:00:43]>> What did you say before that? We'll get to the >> sentencing.

[00:00:46]>> The sentencing sir. Okay.

[00:00:47]>> First of all, I want to say this.

[00:00:51]Caucasian nation, the good white folks of America are so disingenuous.

[00:00:58]And the reason I say Caucasian nation is so disingenuous. Loom is because when black people receive an unfair trial, we are supposed to respect the verdict.

[00:01:18]But when white people feel that they haven't received a fair trial, they don't have to respect the verdict. The other thing that makes Caucasian nation so disingenuous, Loom is they always like to treat every black case in its own special vacuum. In other words, when we talk about Carmelo Anthony, we can't talk about the man who took Trayon Martin's life.

[00:01:51]Um, George Zimon.

[00:01:53]>> George Zimman. You can't put it in context. We can't talk about Rick Child who took Cyrus Carmarmac's life. WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT Kyle Writtenhouse getting off, Rick Child getting off, Daniel Penny choked a man out in a New York subway and got off on standing his ground. and the man never touched him.

[00:02:17]>> The reason white society, Caucasian nation doesn't like black people to discuss our legal lynchings in context because if you put it in context, LOOM, YOU CANNOT come to any other decision that there are two standards of justice in this country. One black, one white, and it's been that way for 407 years.

[00:02:42]Now, with that being said, we have to understand that to be black in America is a crime in and of itself. In fact, the original crime of America is to be black.

[00:02:59]>> The original crime, >> the original crime, the original crime, >> THE FIRST CRIME, >> THE FIRST crime was to be black. Cuz remember, Lon, we were never supposed to be citizens. We were never supposed to be free. We were never supposed to be here after slavery ended. So every time a white person sees you, you your EXISTENCE ITSELF is a crime against white humanity. Now, with the Carmelo Anthony situation, we also see clearly that black people have no legal right to stand your ground, even in a state where standing your ground is legal. That's crazy to me. And so, for me, that affected that affects my understanding because I I'm I'm having trouble comprehending how, okay, I'm sitting down, he's standing up.

[00:03:54]Before we get into the the details of the case though, do you think he got a fair trial? Carmemelllo Anthony, >> he could not get a fair trial.

[00:04:01]>> It was impossible.

[00:04:02]>> It was impossible. He's in Colin County, Texas. Black people ARE 10%. IF THAT, HOW IS HE going to get a fair trial?

[00:04:11]Lon, if the trial was going to even attempt to be fair, why would there be no black jurors for the trial to even the Constitution says you're supposed to be tried by a jury of who? Your peers.

[00:04:28]They had a jury of all whites. Every man was Caucasian.

[00:04:33]Three Asians, one Arab.

[00:04:38]Now, I want to say this to black America loom. Multiculturalism died with Carmelo Anony's conviction.

[00:04:45]>> Multiculturalism died with Carmelo Anony's conviction. And the reason I say multiculturalism died with Carmelo Anony's conviction is because if nonwhite people of color gave a damn about us, Carmemella wouldn't be in jail. Asians don't care about you. Arabs don't care about you. Latinos don't care about you. IF THEY DID LOOM, why is there no difference in the outcomes when they are asked to weigh in on the guilt or innocence of African people? All non-blacks in America are white as far as consciousness and opinion goes.

[00:05:22]>> But I think it's always been a one-way street. I think black people has been so given with their love and understanding and their invites and we have we receive very little in return for that. And why do we still get it?

[00:05:35]>> I don't know. I think we think it's a part of the barter system. I think >> I'm going tell you why we still get it.

[00:05:40]Because we don't give it to each other.

[00:05:42]>> That's a fact.

[00:05:43]>> If black love and compassion and forgiveness is universal, why we don't have none for each other, >> right?

[00:05:51]>> It ain't universal. Lon compassion and love for your non-black enemies >> is not a function of your spirituality.

[00:06:01]It's a function of your lack of self-respect.

[00:06:04]>> The reason we forgive white people as soon as they unal alive us is because we deeply desire validation and acceptance by white folks. If you notice, Daddy Metaf never forgave Carmelo Anthony for what happened to his son. But let that had been a black mother or A BLACK FATHER. THEY WOULD HAVE FORGAVE HIM THE MINUTE THEY GOT THE PHONE CALL. We don't teach people to respect black life because we forgive them as soon as they take black life. You ain't never seen no white person forgive no black person even in a justifiable homicide which is what Carmelo's situation was. They ain't NEVER FORGIVEN. ONLY BLACK PEOPLE DO THAT. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO with Jesus Muhammad or spirituality. It's about your need for white validation.

[00:06:53]>> Do you think that the 35 years felt like justice though? What? What was What was >> It should have never came to that first of all. It should have never came to that first of all.

[00:07:02]>> So, you think he should have got off innocent of the charges that was brought to on Carmelo Anthony?

[00:07:08]>> Let's go back cuz you're putting the cart before the horse. Let's go back to the indictment from the grand jury.

[00:07:16]The grand jury decided Carmelo will be charged with murder. Who's on the grand jury? Loom, you don't know. It's a secret. I want you to see how white supremacy operates behind the scenes.

[00:07:30]You can't challenge the grand jury loon cuz you don't even know who they are.

[00:07:34]So, the people who decided this 17-year-old would be charged with murder are complete secrets. And you and I both know they all white. Are you with me?

[00:07:45]So, first deal with the grand jury. Him being charged with murder was a crime in and of itself.

[00:07:52]>> So, what do you say about the >> Let me give you one more. You're moving too fast. Hold on. In Texas, if you're 17, you're automatically tried as an adult. Grand jury had no control over that. Are you with me?

[00:08:04]>> Yes.

[00:08:05]>> He was 17. He's automatically tried as an adult, but he doesn't automatically have to be indicted with murder. That could have been aggravated, right? Manslaughter. There's a whole list of crimes that could have went with >> So, you're saying he should have been charged just not with the first degree murder or whatever. Was it first degree?

[00:08:23]He didn't have to be charged at all.

[00:08:25]>> So, so a white little a white young boy body drops and you think he should not have been charged.

[00:08:32]>> The reason you labeled it a white boy is you're putting it within the context of the racism of American society. Let me flip it around for you, Lon. If two 210 lb 210 lb FOOTBALL PLAYERS, BLACK FOOTBALL PLAYERS WALK UP TO A 135LB BLACK BOY, GRAB HIM BY THE HOODIE, PUT HIM IN A HEADLOCK, TRY TO JUMP HIM AND STOMP HIM OUT, AND THAT WHITE BOY unintentionally stabs him or HE FALLS ONTO THE WHITE BOY'S KNIFE, WHICH IS what we believe happened.

[00:09:07]>> Okay. Austin fell onto Carmelo's knife trying to attack him.
